The article reveals the scientific aspects and development practice of the common library space of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS CLS), which over 30 years has formed a system of its organization and mechanisms of functioning. There is reflected the role of libraries in solving the humanitarian problems of the Commonwealth. The article considers the CIS CLS as the main part of the Eurasian library space, and studies it as an independent system. There are highlighted the most important principles of building the CIS CLS. The article shows that during the period under study, the path of formation has been passed, and the circle of common interests and relevant areas of activity has been identified. There is formulated the regulatory and legal framework for the development of librarianship in the CIS countries, the model laws designed to harmonize the national legal documents. The formed organizational system of the CLS functioning includes the interrelated links — national libraries of the CIS, the Library Assembly of Eurasia, the Russian State Library as the basic organization for cooperation in the field of librarianship of the CIS member states, the scientific and practical journal “Herald of the Library Assembly of Eurasia”. The article identifies the priority areas of cooperation: building and preserving national library collections, ensuring open and equal access for users to local and world resources through the use of information technologies, promoting the best examples of national culture and literature, cultural and educational events and ethno-cultural library interaction. The author provides examples of the cooperation programs implementation.The article determines that for the sustainable development and stability of the CLS as a system of library interaction, it is necessary to constantly overcome the contradictions accumulated in it, make adjustments to the definition of common interests and organizational structure. The author concludes that the integration activities of CIS libraries to strengthen the CLS, with the unifying role of the Russian language, serves as the basis for the consolidated inclusion of libraries in the common humanitarian and cultural space of the CIS and in the world information space.

This article focuses on the increasing role of cities and local governments in migration governance through following the increasing “local turn” approach in migration studies in recent years. Turkey, which has a long immigration history and by far the largest immigration population of the country with massive Syrian immigration which started in particular in 2011, cities and local governments have developed different local governance arrangements by which they are trying to produce answers to the diversity brought about by immigration. Local responses differ in terms of scope, actor, approach and method. In this study, how and why the municipalities produce different responses are discussed in the context of the role of the municipalities and the common methods that local responses share despite the same legal framework and being a part of Istanbul metropolitan area. Thus, based on the analysis of the field study conducted in six districts of Istanbul, it has been revealed that the answers given to migration and immigrants are shaped in the context of a high informality and compulsory governance.

The article covers the creation of central executive bodies, whose activities are aimed at the implementation of e-government and the development of digitalization. The process of creation of relevant agencies from the beginning of the introduction of information technologies into public administration to the present time, which actually covers the entire thirty-year period of development of Ukrainian statehood, is analyzed. It is noted that the creation of agencies took place within the stages of introducing information technologies into the life of society, which can be divided into informatization, e- government and digitalization. It is noted that for a long time the departments were constantly reorganized and transformed, which indicates the lack of a clear approach to determining the role of e-government in systemic public administration. It is noteable that the powers of the central executive bodies created reflected the growing importance of e-government in public administration. It is emphasized that with the transition to the policy of digitalization, it is quite logical to create a separate specialized ministry – the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. The structure of the ministry is briefly considered. The article also covers the legal framework and the process of establishing a coordinating and advisory body under the government – the inter- industry council. The comparison of the composition of the intersectoral council, which was declared in the normative documents of 2009 and 2020, was analyzed and compared. It is noted that the coordinating role of the intersectoral council as an institutional mechanism has been repeatedly criticized in government documents and in the analytical materials of experts. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of establishing the work of the intersectoral council to implement the tasks set before it. It is pointed out that the absence of its meetings in 2020-2021 can not but affect the work of the Ministry and the development of digitalization policy in general.

Nowadays, the Colombian sugar industry is involved in an expansion process, mainly related to the diversification of final products. In this way, since 2005 five ethanol distilleries have been running, covering just 65% of total ethanol demand. The distilleries were designed coupled with a composting plant, based on vinasses and carbonatation sludge from the sugar factory. Both distilleries and composting plants show many features which make them a special case in the ethanol market, so they produce a maximum of 3 L vinasse/L ethanol. Besides, in all cases, the thermal and electrical power requirements in the ethanol plant are supplied by the sugar factory. In this paper, a brief description of technological features of the typical process configuration followed by the Colombian sugar industry is shown. It comprises the steam consumption distribution by sections, the common configuration of the heat exchanger network (HEN) developed for bleed vapor usage and the role of energy self-sufficiency of the factory played by the bagasse quality. A set of possible scenarios for improving energy efficiency in a selected sugar factory which comprises a modified HEN can be formulated, including a revamping of the existing boiler and finally a new boiler operating at higher pressure. Based on the previous information, the state of the main Colombian cogeneration projects based on sugarcane and its potential impact on the national energy supply is shown. Finally, the paper describes how Colombian governmental requirements for cogeneration plants are trying to establish a legal framework for this novel industrial activity in the country.

While the current scientific literature is quite scarce for most of the developing world, several leading researchers have made great strides in understanding the role of cyber technologies and related information and communication technologies (ICT) in economic development. A good proportion of this work lays on interventions in the regions of South Asia and Africa. However, cyber-behavior research focused on Latin America has been very limited. Recently, some researchers have taken steps to apply rigorous statistical tools in a systematic way to evaluate how these technologies contributed to the success of several development projects in the region of Latin America. In this chapter, the authors summarize a number of specific cyber-interventions that have taken place in Latin America and that may lead to a better understanding of the impact of interventions to know what works, what does not, and why. The common thread of all the existing cyber-behavior research is that tools must go hand in hand with high quality messaging and content for them to be fully effective.

The study examines the role of small farms in the development of entrepreneurship and family business, which contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas in Bulgaria. The aim of the article is to outline the socio-economic importance of small farms on the sustainable development of rural areas, to reveal structural changes and to assess the impact of the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy. The strengths of small farms for rural development and their needs are highlighted. The difficulties faced by producers in starting a family business are outlined. The results of the study clearly show that small farms are of great social, economic and environmental importance for rural areas. The lack of a definition of “family farm” in the national legislation hinders the process of integration of small farms in economic terms, which in turn affects the sustainability of rural areas. A preliminary assessment of the impact of the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy on small farms has been made.

The article analyses the concept of the nation of the French thinker Ernest Renan. The role of objective factors in nation-building processes is considered, the inadmissibility of absolutisation of the role of these factors in the formation of the nation is indicated. The reasons for E. Renan's criticism of the identification of nation and race are investigated. In particular, the anti-scientific and anti-democratic nature of such identification is pointed out. The concept of the nation as a daily plebiscite and its connection with the common history and destiny is analysed. The importance of the national idea in the process of nation formation is pointed out. In particular, the role of national myths, the myths of the "victim nation" and the "hero nation", and historical oblivion in the processes of nation-building is analysed. The results of the study were obtained by applying the following methods: structural and functional - to analyse the role of objective and subjective factors influencing the processes of nation-building, their relationship; comparative - to compare the importance of territory, dynasty, statehood, common interests, race, language, religion and national identity in the process of nation-building; institutional method - for the analysis of the daily plebiscite as a process of mental and socio-political institutionalisation of the collective will, which is the basis for the continuous reproduction of the national community; causal analysis - to reveal the specific historical circumstances of the formation of the plebiscite concept of the nation of E. Renan, in particular the influence on the formation of his views on the consequences of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Ernest Renan entered the history of the development of socio-political thought as the author of the concept of the nation, which is a combination of psychological, historical and democratic elements. Renan's concept organically combines national identity as the basis of the nation with the democratic nature of national choice (daily plebiscite). This combination forms nationally conscious citizens who together make up the nation and embody its collective will. The existence of nations as the collective wills of nationally conscious individuals is the key to the law in domestic politics and international relations.

Comparison helps to understand the grammatical systems of the compared languages, to learn their features. This is very important both in theoretical and practical aspects. Comparison makes it possible to determine similar and distinctive facts in the grammatical systems of the compared languages. When it comes to learning Russian, we need to identify what skills students have gained in the process of mastering their native language and what skills they need to master in order to learn a second language. The object of this analysis are inflected Russian language and an agglutinative language, the Ossetian language, the analysis is performed on a specific linguistic material. It should be noted that the Russian and Ossetian languages solve the same problem of forming communicative competence. The penetration of grammatical features of one language system into another is an inevitable process. The practical significance is to use the results of analyses in order to identify similarities and differences in the compared languages, which helps to predict and overcome language interference. This is important for improving communication skills,as well as for teaching languages and translating. Native and Russian languages as academic subjects solve the common task of forming and expanding communication capabilities, solving General educational problems of the school. Given the huge role of comparative language learning, we understand that this method is relevant for use in a research laboratory. Keep in mind that it is important to learn the practice of speech communication, not the theory of language. It should be noted that the intensification of methods of teaching a second language depends on the results of comparative research and the availability of the necessary linguistic base.
